CFB NOTRE DAME vs MIAMI AS FEATURED GAME

Analysis: Root Reserve on Notre Dame -3 At once a very heated rivalry it has surprisingly been eight years since these foes last met on the gridiron. Miami dominated that matchup, 41-8, as +3.5 underdogs at home. This is the highest-ranked team the Hurricanes have faced since losing to No. 4 Florida State in November of 2023. They are once again in that position as they try to make up for losing out big down the stretch of last season. A guy like Carson Beck in the mix is a massive get for the Hurricanes, especially in the face of losing Cam Ward. However, this will be his first game back since suffering his injury last season, so there could be some hesitation when pressure comes at him. While the Miami offense line is talented, they are a far cry from the beasts that protected Beck at Georgia. The Irish are going to come at him hard and heavy and if the Hurricanes’ new gun slinger starts making mistakes, Notre Dame’s secondary will make him pay. On the offensive side, CJ Carr fits the mold of some Irish QBs of the past. He’s big, strong and can hand in the pocket before firing bullets across the field. If he can stay out of trouble against Miami’s linebackers, the visitors will be in good shape. Rain could play a factor in this matchup with the forecast calling for precipitation through the evening. The Irish were 7-1 SU versus ranked opponents last season. Take the Fighting Irish giving the points.
